I’m gonna give this another go, folks. Best to ease into it, so I’ll start simple and return to my roots.

Whoopies! (And, of course, Writing, so stay tuned!)

But first, we’ll start with the return of Whoopie Wednesday. Don’t know what a Whoopie is?

Then obviously, we can’t be friends. You go now.

For the die hard fans and the curious, here’s the Wiki definition:

The whoopie pie (alternatively called a black moon, gob [term indigenous to the Pittsburgh region], black-and-white, bob, or “BFO” for Big Fat Oreo [also recorded as “Devil Dogs” and “Twins” in 1835) is a US baked product that may be considered either a cookie, pie or cake. It is made of two round mound-shaped pieces of chocolate cake, or sometimes pumpkin or gingerbread cake, with a sweet, creamy filling or frosting sandwiched between them.

Here’s my definition: Creamy cakey deliciousness. Mouth Joy. Snack Heaven. And by the way, Whoopies also come in waaaaaaay more varieties than the standards listed above.

Below is my favorite chocolate whoopie recipe. A starter whoopie, if you will. From the cookbook “Making Whoopies: The Official Whoopie Pie Book” by Nancy Griffin.
